Daft.ie Property Scraper 🏡🇮🇪

Extract clean, structured property data from Daft.ie, Ireland's largest property portal. Search any Irish location, paste search/browse URLs, or paste individual property URLs — get one tidy row per property with price, bedrooms, bathrooms, BER rating, floor area, property type, GPS coordinates, images, and full estate-agent contact details.

Fast pure-HTTP scraping (no headless browser), JSON/CSV/Excel export, and optional deep enrichment (full description, facilities, price per m², total views, nearby schools).

Why use this scraper?

• Complete listing data — 30+ fields per property straight from Daft's own data layer, not brittle HTML scraping.
• Agent contact details — agent name, branch, phone, licence number and logo on every row, ready for lead lists.
• Search or URL — feed plain locations ("Dublin", "Cork City"), full search URLs, or individual property URLs. All auto-detected.
• Buy, rent, new homes, sharing — cover every Daft market section.
• Filters — price range, bedroom range and property type applied server-side.
• Deep enrichment — flip one switch to add the full description, facilities, stamp duty, price/m², view count and nearby schools.
• Reliable — Irish residential proxies + browser-grade fingerprinting glide past Cloudflare. Failed runs alert automatically.

Supported inputs

You can mix and match any of these:

1. Locations — plain place names searched for the chosen section, e.g. Dublin, Cork City, Galway, Ireland.
2. Search / browse URLs — paste any Daft.ie list URL, e.g. https://www.daft.ie/property-for-sale/dublin or a filtered search.
3. Property URLs — paste individual property pages, e.g. https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/.../6613024. These are always fully detailed.

---

How it works

1. You provide locations, search URLs or property URLs.
2. The actor fetches each page through Irish residential proxies with a real browser fingerprint, reads Daft's embedded Next.js data, and paginates through every results page.
3. Each property is flattened into one clean row. With Scrape property detail pages on, each row is enriched from its own detail page.
4. Rows are pushed to the dataset, ready to export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API.

FAQ

Which sections are supported? Buy (for sale), rent, new homes, and sharing.

Can I filter by price or bedrooms? Yes — set minPrice/maxPrice and minBeds/maxBeds for the locations searches, or bake filters into a search URL and paste it.

Does it get agent phone numbers? Yes, when Daft publishes them on the listing.

How many results can I get? Daft returns 20 per page and up to ~200 pages per search; use maxItems / maxItemsPerSearch to control volume.

Do I need my own proxies? No. Paid runs use a built-in Irish residential pool. Free-tier runs default to Apify Residential (Ireland).

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/daft-ie-property-scraper).

Purpose: Scrape Daft.ie property listings by Irish location, search/browse URL, or property-detail URL — one flat row per property with price, beds/baths, BER, size, coordinates, images, and estate-agent contact details.

Minimal input:

{ "locations": ["Dublin"], "section": "buy", "maxItems": 25 }

Paste URLs instead of locations via startUrls (search/browse or property-detail URLs, auto-classified) — those override the locations/section/filter fields.

Output: one row per property — rowType, id, daftShortcode, title, propertyUrl, price, priceValue, category, saleType, propertyType, numBedrooms, numBathrooms, beds, propertySize, floorAreaValue, berRating, latitude, longitude, county, numImages, hasVideo, images[], seller {sellerId, name, branch, phone, licenceNumber, sellerType}. With scrapeDetails: true each row also carries description, facilities[], stampDutyValue, pricePerSqM, listingViews, firstPublishDate, lastUpdateDate, nearbySchools[].

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Always set maxItems — Daft returns 20 per page and up to ~200 pages per search; default cap is 1000 (free-tier 100).
• section (buy / rent / new-homes / share) plus minPrice/maxPrice, minBeds/maxBeds, propertyType filter locations searches server-side; pasted startUrls carry their own filters.
• Pasted property-detail URLs are always fully detailed; scrapeDetails adds detail-page fields to search-found rows at ~2× the requests.
• Use maxItemsPerSearch to cap each location/search URL independently of the run-wide maxItems.
• Billed per property row emitted — each output row is one paid event.
• Public listing data only; no login-gated fields.
